If the hoons are already breaking the law, what benefit is there (in terms of catching or deterring these hoons) in making draconian changes to the laws, or the application of the laws, except for the purpose of shifting the goalposts which by definition creates more 'hoons' without any behaviour change?

What makes you think it's the hoons driving these changes? It's the determination of the government to be seen to be doing something and a belief among the authorities that they can reduce the road toll significantly, and that the collection conscience of the community wants to die in a car crash.
